Hi all, I downloaded the O2M program and successfully exported my Outlook Mail and Contact information. So far I have successfully Imported one trial MBOX file to Mail to test the process and it works fine, except the folder hierarchy needs to be manually reset. A minor issue but very easy to drag/drop and rename Mail subfolders.
One minor issue I noted when Importing Contacts to Address Book. When in "IMPORT" mode, you are directed to browse to the folder containing the .vcf files, this is fine, but I was unable to do a bulk selection in the same way I could in Finder. I could import one contact at a time, but for 440 contacts, I was not going to do that. I slept on it. I then opened a Finder window alongside Address Book and selected them in Finder and dragged them into Address book. Presto - it worked fine. I am pretty happy with the Mail/iCal/Address Book suite having now fully superseded Entourage.

I have not had to use this program very often, but I have had nothing but excellent results each time (as recently as a week into 2010!). Just one point: taker careful note of the information you provide when you pay for the software: if you ever have to download or pay for it again, you will be asked to repeat that information exactly. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 064 948 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> ***************************** NOTICE - This message from Hatch is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information which is privileged, confidential or proprietary.
